Last fall, we delved into Red Giant’s Shooter Suite, a suite of products all centered around production (offloading footage, logging, etc).
Now it’s time to delve into the latest version of Red Giant’s Magic Bullet Suite, which is a bundle of plugins designed to help you along the post-production side of the fence –more specifically in finishing and color correcting your footage. Included in this bundle of products are the latest versions of Looks, Colorista, Film, Mojo & Cosmo as well as the existing versions of Denoiser and LUT Buddy. For this review, I’ll be taking a look at the Premiere Pro/After Effects version.
What angle the key light hits a character at is a KEY (groan) decision for a director of photography. The lighting featurette [I posted on my site a while back] looked at some of the options, but today I’d like to expand on those with some more up-to-date examples.
Imagine a clock face. You’re looking down on the scene and your talent is at the center with their eyeline to twelve o’clock.
If you've read my posts on the MFM facebook page, you know I've introduced the concept of an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) very briefly awhile back when talking about the crossplatform project DIG by USA Network. ARGs are just one way to deliver content and story to a consumer (AKA the audience).

When I was in college, the high end Steadicam rigs were just coming out and blowing everyone’s minds, as now Hollywood films could do long, elaborate following shots of characters that wouldn’t leave you nauseated. For years, these rigs were so far out of the price point of any low-budget filmmakers that we had to come up with our own stabilization devices that never worked quite as well, but were at least affordable.
However, now, in this world of ultra affordable cameras, like the GoPro, there’s an affordable stabilizer actually made by Tiffen, the originators of the Steadicam.
So, how well does it work?Well, read on to find out!read more
Washington, D.C. – April 27, 2015 – Hearing is our most prominent sense. Unlike the visual, sound is a 360-degree omnipresent experience that surrounds us constantly. MZed and Frank Serafine bring to you The Sound Advice Tour. During this 33-city tour attendees will be exposed to an overview of the roles sound plays in a film, web, and broadcast production. Designed for filmmakers, editors, and aspiring sound engineers, this workshop will cover all the techniques and tools needed to expand skills and give attendees a solid foundation to effectively use sound, in a variety of projects.
Frank’s workshop will teach attendees how to implement important functions including: sound recording, sound editing, sound effects, soundtrack, sound mixing, sound design and sound inspiration. Sound alone takes credit for 70% of a movie’s success and, unlike visual presentation sound is a 360-degree experience that surrounds us constantly. Having already done tours on cinematography, editing and directing, MZed created the Sound Advice tour to showcase the importance of mastering sound design for filmmakers.read more
